Stephano clearly wants the money from IEM. He's an idiot for dropping out though, it's GSL. | ||

Good Luck Frenchi! ...be that as it may, sc2 scene wouldnt be what it is today if it wasnt for the korean government backed kespa. many people here take this for granted. the sc2 hype train was the most massive train ever built. | ||

As for Stephano, he's always been about the money, so anyone could see this coming really. The IEM player pool is much weaker than GSL's, so its likely easy money for him. IEM is also on Hots and the up and downs aren't. Nothing really shocking here. | ||

SKT wanted to snub GSL, it was part of the long back n forth that they had at the beginning of sc2 transitioning. Koreans, despite their fiegned good manners, are actually very petty and underhanded. (im from there) If you read a lot of korean news, you'd find that the same big name companies that own your favorite starcraft teams do some pretty shady and corrupt things to keep your favorite nerds in the black. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had purposely put  Stephano and youngwha in that same f*cked up bracket on purpose to make them choose between the GSL and IEM, and to intentionally make them suffer if they chose both. | ||

Foreigners are only given spots because it helps GOM's ratings. They don't care if they're screwing over some talented Code B player..that isn't going to change. If anything changes, it'll be in the vein of making sure there's more commitment from the foreigners they give seeds to. | ||

He probably had all his trip to IEM already planned when Up and Down groups were released, so can't even blame him. | ||

Too bad you're wrong though, GSL is the hardest and the best tournament around no doubt. Stephano can win all the money he wants and if that's what he's after, that's fine, but the glory of being the best is reserved for the likes of MVP, NesTea, MC, Life, and so on. | ||
